EPE published a fact sheet on 5 October for Transmission Auction No. 04/2026.

Projects remain at the planning stage
The figures describe a forthcoming auction, not awarded contracts or lines already in service. EPE’s fact sheet is intended to explain the sector-planning process behind the proposed works, including where the projects originate and how needs are assessed. Any final construction scope and timing will depend on the auction and subsequent implementation.
